Join WRV crew leader Rich and Phila Cares volunteers to help maintain one of our past project sites. Many volunteers helped plant dozens of native trees in 2003 and now we need to make sure the trees thrive despite the vines in the surrounding area. Once mature, these trees will help fill a large canopy gap and improve the wildlife habitat in the Kitchen's Lane area. Meet in the parking lot at the bottom of Kitchen's Lane. Find Kitchen's Lane near the intersection of Wissahickon Avenue and Westview Avenue. Dress appropriately to be outdoors for 2 hours. Bring water. WRV supplies the tools and gloves.
Call WRV crew leader Rich for more information: cell (267) 784-4421

Join us on any 1st Saturday or 3rd Sunday of each month to take part in our on-going restoration activities. Project details and directions to the worksite will be posted. Sign up to receive email updates.
WRV will provide tools and gloves. Volunteers should bring their own water and dress appropriately (long-sleeved shirts, long pants, and sturdy shoes). Additional volunteer work days are available; please contact our Volunteer Coordinator, Susannah Beckett, for more information at (215) 951-0330 ext. 2175. Please RSVP to susannahb@rhd.org, so we can contact you in case we need to cancel due to severe weather.
See you there!
